Like us, the recent Cascadia Rising earthquake preparedness event may have put emergencies in the forefront of your mind.

We may not face a major earthquake for 100 years—or, it could happen within 10.  We may see major winter wind storms again this year that find thousands without power.

In any event, NOW is a great time to get your home and family as prepared as you can be!  These upcoming events and classes can help you take those next steps.
